Michael A. De Leon is a graphic designer by day, but wears many hats in his off time. In 2004, after several years of covering the Spurs, he started Project Spurs, a Spurs team fansite as an outlet to provide content to Spurs fans, while continuing to write for himself and learning the ins and outs of online publishing and web design. He has since built a writing team and started a popular weekly Spurs podcast called the Spurscast.

Video: Nando De Colo is like Aladdin’s Genie

San Antonio Spurs’ draftee Nando De Colo was recently profiled by a Spanish television and in particular the topic of his nickname “Aladdin” was brought up.

His nickname came from the Disney movie “Aladdin” due to him looking like the genie portrayed in the movie. In reality they mean the genie and not the human character. Of course his court-play has been “magical” this season shooting 60.4% and scoring 10.8 points for Power Electronics Valencia.

Now try not to laugh when you see him rubbing a lamp for the camera with a “get me out of here” look.
